As a Dog Trainer based in Saint Charles, MO, my expertise lies in addressing behavioral issues such as reactivity and aggression in dogs. I also offer diverse program options for basic and advanced obedience. Additionally, I assist owners who wish to become service dog/working dog handlers and guide them through the process every step of the way. My paramount objective is to forge a profound and enduring connection between each dog and their committed owner; with the bond you share with your dog being the cornerstone of my training approach.

I got into this industry because I was also once a struggling dog owner, who was lost, and didn’t know where to go for help. I learned over the years I enjoy helping people just as much as I enjoy helping dogs. In this industry, I can do both. I understand what it is like to have a dog that makes you feel alone due to their behavior. You’re not alone, and your dog isn’t either. My goal is to help rebuild your family one lesson at a time. Although I enjoy working with all cases, my heart is in fearful dogs, and complex cases that other trainers wouldn’t touch with a 10-foot pole. I want every dog owner of a complex dog to know, your dog’s aggression/reactivity doesn’t have to be a life sentence. Allow me to help you through every challenging moment, and reveal who your dog truly is.

I am currently based in Saint Charles, but I frequently take on clients as far as Illinois and offer virtual training to those beyond that. I have successfully helped owners and their dogs as far as Arizona. My experience with dogs goes as far back as the year 2009, as an 8-year-old child receiving their first working dog, but my professional experience started when I was 16 working my first dog job in a boarding facility. After I graduated high school, I attended a school for Professional Dog Trainers and lived there for 6 months learning how to apply different theories in real life training scenarios. After graduating from that program, I opened Masen’s K9’s, and attended another mentorship under a more established trainer in the area for 6 months.
